Opened in 1931, the Art Deco Paramount Theatre started as a movie house but quickly fell upon hard times during The Great Depression. It was neglected for more than 30 years until 1972 when it was purchased by the Oakland Symphony Orchestra Association and restored to its original glory and later named a National Historic Landmark. The theater is home to the Oakland Ballet and Oakland East Bay Symphony, and also hosts concerts and performing arts, as well as movies. Upcoming shows include Dora the Explorer Live!], Robert Plant in concert and Jethro Tull in concert.
